Consumers in the United States are currently staring down the barrel of inflation, with volatile food and fuel prices motivating an average 4.25 percent drop in the value of a dollar in the last year. Usually, such economic conditions are prime fodder for automakers to raise prices, but Kia is doing its best to stem the tide with the 2027 Carnival. Although its MSRP is indeed higher than it was for the 2026 Carnival, each trim level is only $100 more expensive than before, a number that barely amounts to $3 per month on a four-year loan. Skip the Starbucks drive-thru once and you’ve made up the difference.
